i'm back at my uni house and with 5 ppl on the connection plus my dedicated bt server it spikes like mad. i've finally got it stable for teh most part in that it doesn't disconnect but i still get spikes every minute or so even with bt not running. i've set everything going to myself a priority of 5 and still i get spikes.

basically this router is better than my di604 but is far from perfect and it's annoying as hell trying to figure out.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14550472 Mon, 10 Oct 2005 23:47:16 EDT Re: [Help Me] DGL-4300 dying under heavy use? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14530438 anon : Wow I clicked this thread to read it and realized it was one i started like 6 months ago hehe.

Just wanted to say that I think the 4300 is an awesome router and would recommend it to anyone.

Someone said they could not followed my 2nd post where I had fixed the problem.... I fixed my disconnect problem by turning ON dynamic fragmentation. Initially I had turned the setting to off to get my voip modem to work but it turns out the router doesn't work well with it off heh, so make sure you leave it on.

One other thing... for people who want good game pings.... do not rely on 'automatic classification' it will not give you the results you want. As someone pointed out it 'helps' but 1000ms ping down to 500ms is still useless. Leave automatic classification on, however for any traffic you can, create custom rules it is MUCH MUCH more effective.

I put bittorrent traffic on port 50005 and then give it a '255' priority (lowest). Then I play ut2k4 so I have a rule for traffic on port 7777-7877 and source ip of my gaming computer to priority '5' (very high).

bassically this is how i have it set:
5 ut2k4
10 voip phone
50 teamspeak (team voice program)
70 ssh connections
80 web/ssl
---
128 all other connections go here that don't match a rule
---
150 ftp
255 bittorrent

My cable gives 384kbps up, and i type that in I do not use measured uplink speed.

In bittorrent I limit it to 35KB/sec.

The result is with no other traffic I'll ping ~70-80ms with bittorrent going it'll be 80-90ms... I can limit bt more (down to 25KB/sec) and my ping is effected even less but I usually don't bother... if I have a match or an important game to play I will just close BT and be safe.

One other thing that is useful if you care about pings or not... do not put BT traffic's limit too high.. it will quickly begin to affect other programs (web pages take too long to load) and the 4300 will not be able to help you.

Heres how I found to pick a resonable limit.. in azureus if you open the statistics panel it gives you a nice graph of your upload... choose some upload limit thats not that high and it iwll make a nice flat line going across, you can then raise the limit and see if it keeps the nice flat line... eventually when you get near your connections limit it will start making spikes all over the place... at this point i turn the limit down a few KB/sec to leave a little room to be safe. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14530438 Sat, 08 Oct 2005 02:38:07 EDT Re: [Help Me] DGL-4300 dying under heavy use? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14519759 Nicrypt : I am replying to any topics regarding the DGL-4300 and/or the DSL-300T as these are the two items I purchased which caused a few issues which I have now overcome after a week of configuration changes. As with all routers/modems issues arise.... thats life. So enough waffle...... the concluding facts:

DGL-4300 with v1.4 firmware
DSL-300T with latest firmware 05/2005. Latest to date anyway as of 06/09/2005.

www.dlink.co.uk

(1) A couple of points if you are thinking of using this router and modem together: The DGL-4300 requires the 1.4 firmware to fix compat issues. If you are planning to use the modem as the PPPoA for connecting to your ISP, and the router connecting to the modem via DHCP Client be aware that the modem has a refresh rate of 60 seconds on the DHCP IP timeout which would be better increased to perhaps 3600 seconds.

(2) Now for the problematic DSL-300T: I orginally thought it was the router causing most of the issues I was having, I was proved wrong. If you are planning to use this modem for the most basic of tasks behind a router or PC you are unlikely to experience any diffculties. But for those who use the internet for anything and everything the modem is very prone to crashing or hanging over a few mins or several hours when overloaded with connections (Keep reading for Solution). Now I mention bittorrent as this is very heavy on the connections, I am using ABC 3.0.0, but most other clients are the same to be quite frank. The work around solution is not to use the PPPoA feature on the modem, and use the modem as a direct BRIDGE. This is configured in the setup modem drop down list. Once the modem is configured as a bridge and DHCP server turned off, the router can be configured to use PPPoE/PPPoA in my case PPPoE as my UK ISP supports it. Problem solved!

(3) Now for the DGL-4300: I have read so many forums about problems and issues regarding this router, but my first comment would be dont assume the router is always at fault. In most cases it wont be!!! My only comments on this would be the 3 areas for port configuration are fine as they provide, single port fowarding, port range forwarding and triggered port forwarding. GAMEFUEL I now have configured as default and automatic after trying several methods I am happy with the default settings. But if you really really want something below or higher than everything else use 255 for low priority items and 128 for high priority items whilst Auto is still enabled as disabling this will only cause more headaches.

Hope some of this advice has been helpful for someone, any questions just ask!!!

Did you test the cables for NeXT and attenuation? I stopped making LAN cables by hand when I discovered that the store bought ones (CAT5E and up) were generally better.

Maybe if you are using the full 1 Mbit, then the bad ping time could be because the acknowledgements are delayed by the downloading. So Gamefuel may be getting the packets out sooner, but the return trip is getting lagged.

Time for a faster DSL provider? :D]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14049316 Wed, 03 Aug 2005 14:25:12 EDT Re: [Help Me] DGL-4300 dying under heavy use? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14048572 gord27 : i made all the cables. cat 5 and cat 5e. happens in two different houses. i don't understand how 100mbit cables can cause high ping on a 1mbit connection. but only when using the full 1mbit and not when just gaming by itself.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14048572 Wed, 03 Aug 2005 12:51:15 EDT Re: [Help Me] DGL-4300 dying under heavy use? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14048427 joe_dude : Yeah, that does seem awfully high.

It seems that D-link don't have good support for PPTP protocols, and they received a lot of complaints about PPTP modems not working with D-Link routers, such as the Alcatel ADSL modem.

The phone company said that they received many complaints and it has to do with poor support for the PPTP protocol, and If I was to switch to a PPPOE based modem, the problems should be solved.

Sure enough, when switching to a PPPOE protocol based modem the problems were solved and I'm finnaly working with the gigalan and high speed internet I wanted.

D-link have no idea of this problem, and from what I understand, they aren't going to work on the support for the PPTP protocol, since it's a reletive old protocol.

I am still in the process of checking it out, but it looks that if I change to a PPPoE modem from ECI, the problems are gone.

UMMM....You have no idea either. Some DSL providers do in fact offer 786-1000Kbps for the upload side. Its also a fact that DSL is lower ping times all around because DSL is not shared as cable is.
DSL is shared once you get to the CO. Oh wow, you have a dedicated pipe from your home to the DSLAM. Big deal, a lot of good that'll do when the pipe from the CO to the ISP POP is congested to hell. Bye bye ping times, too.

Of course it all depends on where you live but I know a few people that have seen 56k speeds in the evening because everyone in the nighborhood is online downloading torrents and what not.
I've had the same thing happen with DSL when the pipe from my CO that served half of the entire city was congested. I dealt with 1200ms pings for about three months before I got fed up and went back to dialup before I moved. Technology has nothing to do with it, implementation does.

My cable never goes down, and I had 5500/640 well over a year and a half ago. Again, you're talking about ISP specifics, and not about the technology itself.

To show that cable really sucks, cable networks could offer 100Mbps or more to its users today but they rather milk there users to death first at the slowest speeds possible.
The telco can too. Again, this goes to implementation. Your point?

My point, however, is that DSL and cable are both the same thing - consumer level broadband services that, all things being equal, perform pretty much the same. Blindly telling someone to switch from cable to DSL is a stupid thing to do. End of Story.

Have you tried setting VoIP to the highest priority, and letting everything else use the auto-configured rules? If VoIP still dies with a QoS setting of the highest priority, then you know you're outright using too much bandwidth that even QoS can't make work any better. QoS is there to assist, and all traffic still must go through at some point or another, even if another process (read: VoIP) requires more bandwidth than it is willing to share. Try giving your VoIP a priority of 1, and then assign everything else on the network a priority of 255 or use the auto rules. See what happens. If that doesn't help, you're just trying to squeeze too much bandwidth through too small a pipe, and QoS is unable to do a thing for you.

Anyways I think I fixed it acutally lol... after 2 months of just closeing BT heh. When i first set it up, my voip modem could not establish a connection. After searching I found something that said turn off one of thse "speal applications" and turn off dynamic fragmentation. I tried that and voip modem made connections and yea. I tried turning it on now and voip modem made a conneciton no problem heh. Nothing else changed heh.

Not only does dynamic fragmentation work now, but all disconects are gone. I can leave BT at my max upload, phone and ut work fine (no delays at all). I don't know what queueing algorithum they use but it does not work with dynamic fragmentation turned off. Which shouldn't be.. spliting packets should only decrese delay slightly, and certianly not starve a connection long enough it disconnects. Either their queueing algothum is worht crap or there is some bug somewhere.

Reason I wanted the 4300 was the priority queueing. Usually I have bittorrent running 24/7, however when I talk on my voip phone or play ut2k4 I want that traffic to get through soon as possible... also I would like even web traffic to not be affected by BT in the background.

So with the 4300 I put ut2k4 and phone at 10 priority, web is at 80 ftp 120 BT/emule is 250... theres alot of other stuff in there, I put teamspeak (voice com for games) at like 50.. anyways.

My cable modem can upload ~35k, BT is always limited to at least 25K.

If BT is going and I play ut or talk on the phone, eventually everything will get disconnected.

I will be talkin on the phone and all of a sudden the other person will go "hello?" and be a pause and they hangup, they cannot hear me talking.

Playing UT everything will start sliding on my screen except I can hear what is going on and see messages about hwat is going on for ~10 seconds and then I get offically disconnected.

Voice com in games very simialr to the voip phone, i can hear poeple talk for a bit but they cannot hear me.

torrents, the upload and download will both fall to 0.

After a few seconds everything works again perfectly.

Whats the problem? Things like IRC however do not get disconnected, its not like the router is dropping all the connections at least... when you restart the firewall windows will go "network cable unplugged" for a seocnd and then come back... when my stuff gets messed up that doesn't happen, so I don't think the router is resetting itself somehow. Nothing ever happened like this before i got the 4300, so I doubt its my cable modem or isp somehow.

Any suggestions?

Few other things, does not matter how many connections BT makes, I limit it to 200 overall and that doesn't stop anything, last night it only had 30 connections open and i was getting disconnected from ut every 20 min or so.

Old firmwares it happened as does newest 1.3, no effect.

Usuaually if I limit BT to 15K or 10K it doesn't happen for while, last night I had it limited to 5K up and it kept happening ever 20 min or so, if i leave it at 25K up it'll happen within a few minutes sometimes... if i let it got to 30K or so sometimes it will happen.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,13401550 Fri, 13 May 2005 18:15:57 EDT
